I'd like to restate that the drummer is 99% set to be Bill Brasky.
Well you're wrong, and so is everyone else.

It's actually Slater from Saved By The Bell.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

This is an amazing development.  And, in the event that Portnoy successfully sues for the Dream Theater name, the band could fire JLB, hire Mark Paul Gosselaar, and rename themselves the Zack Attack.

I would like to know why so many people dont like aguiles priester as a drummer? Ive watched alot of videos of all the front runners, as far as what people call front runners,and he is a more than capable drummer. his style is a little heavier but could see him doing well with dt.I really dont have a fav candidate ,but watching his videos he seems to have the most prog like vibe and sounds the most like mp.thats not to say that i want a mp clone ,just that in watching him he reminds me the most of mp out of all the front runners...just my 2 cents :biggrin:

I'm sure Aquiles could play everything Mike used to play in DT, after all he is a great drummer, however, compared to the other drummers discussed like Lang, Minnemann, Donati and Mangini he is nowhere near their level of skill or creativity. But to me the thing that Aquiles has against him the most is the language barrier. Honestly I don't think he even auditioned.

If Marco was the drummer, would MP be that happy to take a photo with him?

Edit: Hadn't realised MM is that tall!!!

Funny thing, he didn't take a pic with Lang!  (If you are going in that line of speculation)!!!

Judging from the last 2 days twitter posts, TL and MP compete on who's going to upload more photos from the NAMM! Could that be a sign? :lol

A bunch of people can say whatever they want, the band have said it's because they haven't been given the go ahead by RR. Not sure why it's taking quite so long, but whatever.

I still care, and am quite excited, but I'm also perfectly happy to wait until the band are able/ready to say. I don't why so many people feel they need to either be super excited all the time or completely not care. There is an in between.

Someone put Priester in the "Members" section the DT Wikipedia page about a month ago. I deleted it because it had nothing to support its validity.

I swear everytime talks about priester it annoys me, but here I'll just try to see if I can do the same thing.

Here, Dave Weckl is probably the new drummer. Don't believe me? Well here's a bunch of youtube videos of him playing, that should prove that he is the new drummer.

Since they've been in the studio for about 2-3 weeks already, I wouldn't be surprised if PC's theory of releasing a song to couple the announcement to be true...(which was actually my theory in the first place... :yeahright)

Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

Maybe they'll do a Metallica and release a full on documentary of Petrucci and Myung yelling at each other for hours while Rudess asks them how they feel about it.

Is JM physically capable of yelling? I would love it if they released a song with the announcement. I really hope thats what happens.

Okay i have been following this thread over the last month but what (if any) evidence do we have that any of these mentioned drummers is a possiblity.  I vote Mangini but other than heresay is there any real evidence of a new drummer? I am getting pretty pissed that one of the four guys hasnt said something yet.  There has got to be someone out there that knows! Come forward!
